Lucas Ossendrijver, the 37-year-old Dutch-born Lanvin men’s wear designer, has an international resume to rival most diplomats. After graduating from the Fashion Institute Arnhem (ex alumni include Ossendrijver’s compatriots Viktor & Rolf), he skipped from Kenzo, to the German-Greek Kostas Murkudis, and then to Dior Homme in the Hedi Slimane years, before being charged in 2006 with translating Alber Elbaz’s success at Lanvin to the men’s market.
